BROKE In THREE,
A Car and a Couple of Trucks
And Two Tramps DAM
aged.

1t was reported last night that a
disastrous wreck had occurred about
three miles west of town on the main
line of the Missouri Pacific, by which
three freight trains had been knocked
into a cooked hat, and any number of
tramps and railway employees been
more or less injured and killed. In
vestigation disclosed that there had
been a break in one section of freight
train, and that the section behind it
had been stopped in sufficient time to
prevent piling up disaster.
1t seems that the first section of
the freight going west passed up the
heavy grade this side of Dresden
all right, and the second
section, in charge of Conductor Sulli-
van, broke in two places Oh the geade.
One car and couple of trucks, on the
rear part, were run into, and so scat
tered along and across the rails that
the passage of trains was impossible.
The third section of the train got as
far as the wreck and then returned to
Sedalia. The wrecking train and Its
crew were dispatched to the scene at
midnight, and by four o'clock this
morning had the track clear. The
night express east bound, due at 11:55
p. M, lay at Dresden, and arrived in
Sedalia at five o'clock this morn
ing.
Several tramps were discovered TO
be stealing a ride Oh the train, and
two of these were injured. The
others escaped unhurt, and were not
seen after the break. Those hurt
were brought back to Sedalia and
taken to the railway hospital for treat
ment. They were white men, and
gave their names as John Hoage, of
New York, and James Hanrahan, of
Ohio.

A Bismarck woman was inau:yIng
about the wreck. She had expected
her husband on the train that was

"Oh, indeed. What were his last
words ?"Well, as / remember. the

Post-Dlspatch.
The Queens refusing to exhibit
herself in robe and crown in the
jubilee procession is not only ungra-
cious but ungrateful. What else is
she there for, and what else can she
do at her time OF life in return for the
vast sums lsvished upon her progeny,
several generations of which are now
billeted upon the taxpayers of her
realm? There is nothing left of
monarchy for British loyalty to hur.
rah over but the crown and trappings
of royalty, and no doubt she is tired
showing herself in them, a mere lay
figure, decorated with the blazonary
of a kingly power that is dead. But
in refusing, she merely goes on a
strike against doing anything at all
for her pay.

Struck by Lightning.

Seven fine cows were struck by
lightning and killed last Friday night,
on the farm of Mrs. Hull, nee Cen
try, two miles southeast of Dresden
and about FIVE miles from Sedalia.
The cattle were found dead alongside
of a wire fence, and it is surmised that
this, perhaps, was a factor, in con-
junction with the lightning, in their
sudden demise.

DICK LINDSAY
Killed BY a Train at Jackson
Vile. Illinois.

A dispatch over the Western
Union wires was received just before
noon to-day from John H. Knollen-
burg, coroner, by the Citizens Ma
tional bank of Sedalia. which read
Citizens National Bank, .Stdaiio. No.
Returned checks found on man killed
by train. show name TO be Richard Lind
say. Any disposition Of body, wire Zoe
Immediately.
(signed. JNo. +. KSoLLESBURG,
Coroner.
This dispatch was the first intima-
ton to any one in Sedalia that man
had been killed by train at Jackson
vile. and Immediately inquiry was set
on foot by the BAzoo in the matter.
Lindsay, who was a farmer near Ores
den, in this county, has been in Ken
lucky all winter, and it was not known
tina: he had come to Illinois. His
brother-in-law, NJ. f. Priest, ex-
county collector, was handed the tele-
gram, and he telegraphed the news to
Dicks's mother, who is at Jefferson
CITY.
The surmises in regard TO the death
seem to narrow down to the conclu-
sion that Lindsay, who has an aunt
al Jacksonville, got off a train at that
town, and Was run down and killed.
He was very deaf, and crippled in the
right arm, and was otherwise afflicted.
The deceased was about thirty years
of age.

several kinds, salads, rolls, ices, fruits,
jellies, coffee, lemonade and a variety
of cakes was served on prettily
ornamented tables. Quite a number
of presents including glass ware, silver

etc., were received. Mr.. and Mrs.
Payne left directly after the ceremony

Public Offices for Women.

New FORK World.
Brooklyn has followed the example
of Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago,
and henceforth will have a woman
officer or matron in every police station
in the city for the purpose of searching
and caring for arrested women.
This is so obviously decent, humane
and sensible arrangement that the
wonder is that it should be anything
of a novelty. 1t still remains for New
York City to ADOPT the reform. But
if Brooklyn has preceded New York
in this respect, the latter is ahead in
in the matter of women as School
Commissioners. Next month the
Mayor of Brooklyn will make appoint
ments to the School Board, and he will
do wisely to follow the very successful
example set him on this side of the
East River. The installation of
women as public officers in police
stations or in school boards is a
manifestation of the woman movement
that is based upon utility. 1t is not
complicated by abstract principles of
political equality, but adds something
that is needed to special branches of
of the governmental machinery. As
the rights of being educated and of
going to prison are not denied to
women, they can safely be represented
in the management of school and Of
prisons at least.

Will Take a Change of Venue.

The following taken from the
Clinton Democrat in reference to a
well-known resident of this city will
be read with some interest.
Quite an excitement has been
created in Usage township, st. Clair
county, five miles below TabOrville,
by the arrest of George l.. Yeater, a
well known and extensive stock deal
er residing in Sedalia. He had
leased large pasture from the es-
tate of Waldo p. johnson and placed
in it sos head OF Texas cattle which he
brought to this state last February.
Mr.. Geater was arrested on the 18th
day of May, charged with taking in
fictitious cattle into St. CLAIR county,
ON a warrant sworn out by two citi.
zens named Allison and Barber. He
was taken before justice and held
under guard. and finally released on a
bond OF $500 and day set for hear.
ing before a justice of the peace in the
neighborhood. Mr.. Yeater came to
Clinton and stopped at the residence
of his brother-in-law, w. II. Cock
where he has since been i'll from a
severe bilious attack. He could not
attend the trial, and was scarcely able
to be in town to-day.
Mr.. Yeater thinks that so much ex-
element has been created over the
matter that it will be necessary for
him to take change of venue from
that township. He thinks that he
has been unjustly assailed, from the
fact that he brought his cattle into
the state at time permitted under
the law, and now has them in a pas
ture where other cattle cannot mingle
with them. His character and re-
putation as a stock man preclude the
charge that he would inflict infected
stock upon any community.

shenandoah Valley Railroad

1t is now very evident what has been
surmised for some months, that steps
have been taken looking to the reorgan-
ization Of the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road, which for some time has been in
the hands of the Receiver. The road is
now doubtless in better physical condi-
ton than it was when it passed into the
hands of the Receiver, for besides the
new iron bridge being erected over the
Potomac at Shephcrdstown, the Receiv-
er has made various Improvements and
bettcrments along the line of the road.
The reorganization will now doubtless
progress us rapidly as practicable to get
proper orders and DEGREES of the Courts
of Virginia, West Virginia and Mary
land. The result will be that the road
will be sold and it is likely 1t will pass
into the hands of the Norfolk y Western
Railroad, and become part OF its system
either by purchase or lease. This of
course will transfer its control from the
Receiver to another Directory and it is
hoped new impetus will be given to
It's business and perhaps new traffic con-
tracts entered into. There are rumors
of various other changes and projects in
connection with this road, looking to
the increase of its importance, but we
are not sufficiently advised of them to
know whether they are correct or what
are the details. |. looks now as if a
new and promising departure is to be
made in the control and business influ-
ence of this road.-HagerStOCn Mail.

A sanguinary riot occurred at Oak
Ridge, La, on Monday. A negro man
assaulted a white girl, and was arrested
by deputy sheriffs. While Fhey were
taking him to Jail an attempt was made
by the Negroes friends to rescue him.
A posse then attempted to arrest the
whole party. when general melee fol-
lowed. Two of the white men and six
negroes were killed before quiet was Sc
cured.
